Cement And Its Components
Cement is a product used by civil engineers for construction purposes. It is a binding material that usually helps keep buildings and other monuments intact in their position for years, until it is broken or needs repair.
They are usually powder-like in appearance and are mixed with water to bind together to form a heavy mass.
The cement is usually of two types;
1. Hydraulic cement
2. Portland cement
